"Ha ——!" , Li Yu yawned a lot in the carriage, now he looks puffy with bags under his eyes, his eyes are blank, and he keeps holding his waist, looking decrepit; Guo Jia and Jia Xu glanced at each other, covered their mouths and secretly had fun, making Li Yu embarrassed: "If you want to laugh, laugh!" Don't hold back! This little bit of about their family has long spread throughout the army, and everyone knows that in the past three or two months, he Li Huaide was confined to his home; And then what? Make a man! What else can you do? Thinking of Cao Fangmei's silky lips: "Husband! Again! "Husband! People still want it! Li Yu trembled, his legs trembled, and the pain and happiness were nothing more than that; The merry prodigal son Guo Jia laughed and said, "Huaide! This beauty threw herself into her arms! You are a bridegroom every day, and you go into the cave every night! How? Still not happy? ”

Li Yu said angrily: "You go home and stay with your mother-in-law for three months!" Have sex more than five times a day! With your small body, it's not as good as me! Hum! ”

The old man Jia Xu on the side, don't look at the usual sanctimonious appearance, he is not old at heart, and he is obscene! At this time, he said to Guo Jia: "Young man! You still don't understand! This thing has to be emotional! However, even if you are full of feelings, even if you are iron, you have to turn into willow strips in three months! Hahaha! ”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu laughed on the side, and Li Yu's face suddenly darkened: "You two gloating guys!" Sooner or later, I'll get revenge on you! ”

The mighty crusade army began the second crusade against Xuzhou after the beginning of spring, a total of 150,000 troops were extremely powerful, Cao Cao was determined to take Xuzhou this time, and now Cao Cao's power is not what it used to be, it can be said that it has a long and short strength with the old warlords and princes; The entire Yanzhou, the entire Sili Prefecture, and the entire Yuzhou, plus a small part of Xuzhou, and Shangdang and Hanoi in the state, Cao Cao blinked his eyes - the old hen has become a duck! Before getting Yuzhou, Cao Cao's territory seemed to be very large, but it was not comparable to Liu Biao, who only occupied the nine counties of Jingxiang, and Liu Zhang, who was far away in Shu; The reason for this is the lack of overall strength, Yanzhou is the land of four wars, and there are many mountains, rivers and hills, and the Sili area has been continuously destroyed by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, which is already dilapidated and unpresentable, even Hanoi and Shangdang, which Zhang Yang has worked hard to operate for many years, were destroyed in the battle between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao; The agricultural production in these places is very backward, and many people only rely on Cao Cao's relief grain to survive, and without grain and grass, there is no strength, because military food is also grain and grass! Can you guarantee that the army will be able to break the enemy and win with only three days' rations? Even if you win once, what about the next time? You can't always be lucky against the sky!

It's different to get Yuzhou, especially the east of Yuzhou, which is the center of Yuan Shu's power from Nanyang and Runan to the east, with a population of more than 5 million, which greatly increases the population base of Cao's forces, and the grain here can be harvested almost twice in three years, which is particularly abundant, and every household has surplus grain; If it weren't for Lu Bu's wanton plunder, Cao Cao would have gained more, anyway, it would be good now, and he also took over more than 100,000 troops and horses of Yuan Shu, and his power and strength have increased qualitatively! Liu of Jingzhou could only rely on Cao Cao's snort; The only thing that can't be compared may be Yuan Shao in Hebei, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, the three large states, covering a large area and having a large population base, are far from being comparable to Cao Cao's broken small states, but after taking Xuzhou, Cao Cao can be with Yuan Shao for a long time; Even if Yuan Shao won Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou, Cao Cao was only weaker than him, and the difference in strength between the two sides was not as great as it was at the beginning, this is what makes people excited, in order to prevent the future that may break out, the most powerful war since the division of the princes, Cao Cao made up his mind this time;

The current situation in Xuzhou is more interesting, which is also the reason why Cao Cao and others have the confidence to fight a battle; Lü Bu and Liu Bei, the rivals, kept fighting because of the ownership of Xuzhou, and Lü Bu had an absolute upper hand in the number of troops and military superiority because he had levied a lot of soldiers and horses in Guangling County, coupled with the support of his cheap father-in-law Cao Bao; And Liu Bei has done a very good job in Xuzhou in the past two years, the scholars are competing to serve, and the people are also grateful to him, so he occupies absolute confidence in fame and the hearts of the people, so he is inseparable from Lu Bu's fight; Lu Bu took over Xuzhou City and kept Guangling County as the backing, Liu Bei occupied Xiapi City, and the other five counties, but Lu Bu was like a turtle with a shrunken head, and it didn't matter if your territory was big! Xuzhou City is the foundation and center of Xuzhou; The two sides are a small fight in three days, a big fight in five days, the anger is getting bigger and bigger, Hou Cheng and Song Xian under Lu Bu are all killed in the battle, Liu Bei's side, Guan Erye is worthy of being the first person on the arrow list, and he was attacked by Cao Xing again, and he was shot in the shoulder; The only thing that made Liu Bei happy was that he originally knew that Zhao Yun's martial arts were very strong, but he didn't think that he could beat Lu Bu, in fact, Zhao Zilong couldn't beat Lu Bu, but his performance was a little better than Guan Erye and Zhang Sanye, and he was undefeated after more than 200 rounds with Lu Bu; This is already very remarkable, the one who originally fought with Lu Bu the most rounds was Xu Chu, a barbarian, after more than a hundred rounds, and now a Zhao Yun jumped out, and there were more than 200 rounds before he fled; Zhao Yun actually has an absolute advantage in speed, as well as the lightness and weirdness of marksmanship, otherwise you let him and Lu Bu try it for two hundred rounds! No wonder Zhao Yun is the person with the longest career as a military general, the reason is that he does not eat "youth rice", and has a unique advantage in martial arts, unlike Xu Chu, it is estimated that after he is over fifty years old, it is inevitable that his strength will decline by 20%; In this way, even Chinese New Year's Eve both sides spent in the war, and then the war situation did not fundamentally change, and Cao Cao came!

With a worried heart, Liu Bei came to Mr. Dumb's residence, and he walked back and forth more than a dozen times outside the courtyard gate, but he didn't dare to push open the door and enter the room, he felt guilty, and Mr. Dumb was quite disheartened now, and he didn't treat him very well, and he rarely came up with ideas recently; "Big brother! It's not a problem for you to go back and forth like this! Go in, go in! Afraid of a bird? Zhang Fei yelled irritably; Guan Yu was a little more careful than Zhang Fei in his thoughts, he knew that Liu Bei was very irritable now, so he scolded Zhang Fei: "Big brother has his own reasons for doing this!" Don't talk nonsense! ”

Liu Bei got Zhang Fei's prompt, originally he didn't have anything for a while, he never thought about it so much, but now he has got a lot, but he hesitates to do things and has no more decisiveness in the past, it's a big deal to admit his mistake! Thinking so in his heart, Liu Bei reached out to push the door; "Squeak!" , Liu Bei's outstretched hand pushed into the air, the courtyard door had been opened, and Mr. Dumb was wearing a cloak, and the cat was looking at him there; Liu Bei was surprised in his heart and gave a salute: "Mr. has you been okay?" Mr. Dumb nodded, and walked to the room, Liu Bei waved his hand, and the sergeant outside brought in a lot of food such as silk, meat, and wine, and he himself followed Mr. Dumb into the room; This is? Liu Bei was shocked to see that on the map hung by Mr. Dumb, the various forces densely marked, even the forces controlled by the Shi clan in each place, and the personality traits of these people were written under each person's name; Then he was quite moved to give a salute to Mr. Dumb, Mr. Dumb because of his neglect, he has been at home for a long time, but Mr. Dumb has not forgotten the words of being entrusted by others to be loyal, and is still trying his best to plan for Liu Bei, how can Liu Bei not be moved?

"Cao Cao's second expedition to Xuzhou, obviously is determined to win, now Xuzhou's forces are divided into two parts, one is the lord, the other is Lu Bu, the two sides are inseparable, the strength has long been damaged, even if it can resist for a while, it is not Cao Cao's opponent after all!

This is the third time I have persuaded my lord to go to Yizhou, and it is also the last time! In my opinion, Cao Cao's rise is inevitable, he is almost unstoppable, but Yuan Shao in Hebei is not easy to get along with, and sooner or later there will be a battle between them; What we lack now is a solid foundation! The kind that is very stable! And then there's the time to develop! We may go to Yizhou in vain, but as long as we plan well, Yizhou will inevitably be taken by the lord in a short time, and then plot Hanzhong and Jingzhou, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north are fighting, we have quietly stabilized our power, and have the strength to dominate the world, why not use it?

If the lord is obsessed and wants to join forces with Lu Bu to resist Cao Cao, then I can kill myself at this time! Because I don't want to see my lord die here like this! ”

From the time Liu Bei entered the house to the present, Mr. Dumb didn't say a word, of course he couldn't say it, let's put it this way, he didn't write a word, as if everything had been expected, and it had been written out for Liu Bei to watch; Liu Bei looked at Mr. Dumb and said softly: "Mr. also knows, I, Liu Bei, have been adrift for half my life now, and I finally got it, I really don't want to give up easily!" Is there no other way? ”

Mr. Dumb shook his head unhappily, stood and wrote the word "time" in ink, which meant to tell Liu Bei that what he needed now was not immediate benefits, but time for development, and if he gave up Xuzhou, he could win time for development; If Lu Bu gets the whole of Xuzhou, he will inevitably increase his strength in the struggle with Cao Cao, and the delay will be longer, and then the struggle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will be more protracted, which can evolve into Liu Bei's capital; "Let me think again!" , Liu Bei sighed, and then asked the sergeant to serve wine, and drank himself for a long time, just thinking about which one is more important, now or in the future; "Smack!" , a pottery bowl was shattered, Liu Bei stood up, and was arrogant: "Success or failure is in this move!" Done! Just do as the gentleman wants! After speaking, he strode out; Mr. Dumb smiled and nodded, indescribably gratified; He had already made up his mind, as he wrote to Liu Bei, if Liu Bei really didn't listen to his opinion this time, he would directly lead himself to kill himself, which was something that could not be changed
